The Regulation doublet can be worn with either a black or white bow-tie and vest, depending on the formality of the occassion.

It may also be worn with a jabot.

You may have noticed around here a preference against the PC, which smacks a little of the RentAll shop, and probably a similar inclination against the fly plaid, for various other good reasons.

Umm no, there is not a preference against the PC here it's just that in North America its worn WAY too often in the wrong circumstance. It's formal wear for evening and not THE most formal at that. All too often you see the PC worn when an Argyle or Braemar would be much more appropriate. For instance: A two o'clock PM wedding with the wedding party in PC's is highly wrong. An Argyle is much more versatile. See Rathdown's post above.

Ahhhhhhhhh! :butt::buttkick:

He's joking. Never, never, never, never, never, never, never wear a jabot over a white shirt! Did I say don't do it? Well, don't ever do it. You'll look like Sean Connnery did in the famous photo that is something of a study in what NOT to wear.

Only wear a jabot with a jacket that mounts all the way to the chin and covers the chest, like a Montrose doublet.

With a regulation doublet, you wear a white waist coat and a bow tie!

There, I think I'll be OK now. The nurse brought my meds.

Well, I disagree with you, old chap. I see nothinh wrong with wearing a jabot with a white shirt. I certainly wouldn't wear one without a waistcoat, but I can assure you that a jabot can be worn--and frequently is-- with open doublets to excellent effect. Sorry.
